4. Click the `Submit` button

## Example asset model

::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/q2ez4Myy1Okvv4IuodiZe-I83Cl8rjYWHS5scC1a4Da-20250908-094704.png" size="40" width="1120" height="954" position="center" showCaption="false"}

In this asset model, the top-level assets are `Factory1`, `Factory2` and `Factory3`. Underneath these parent assets, multiple `Production Line xx` child assets are located. Next to the child assets, some event types like `batch` and `production day` are already set up. To do this, one needs to [create event types](docId\:bSxWLC7USZx9nfzRN6QTp) and [link and configure](docId\:E9BJfTgiZ2M1bxQPPz3qx) these event types to the according asset. Upon each event type, properties (not visible here) should be configured later on.
